Part 7, Chapters 1-4 Summary

The three characters Howie, Tommy-Ray, and Jo-Beth enter the Quiddity. Tommy-Ray thinks that he is dying, but Jo-Beth reassures him until he admits to killing Joyce. At this, she swims away, abandoning him in a rage that changes her as a result of the Quiddity. She begins to search for Howie.

In chapter two, Abernethy asks Grillo to cover the story of what happened on Coney Eye, but Tesla wants to find the Jaff and discover a way to heal the Quiddity and the rift that he opened the night before. Witt joins them and offers to take them to the last place he saw them, in the house on Cherry Tree lane, but Grillo realizes that he probably went back down into the cave to hide. They check the entrance and see a dying terata next to it...
